  1. J.R.R Tolkien Was born John Ronald Reuel (JRR) Tolkien in modern day South Africa. Moved to England at a young age. After fighting in World War I, he started create his own language called. Middle Earth. Languages based in Anglo-Saxon, Welsh, and Finnish roots. In the early 1930s, he started to write the first chapters of the Hobbit. In 1973, he died of pneumonia.

  2. Fantasy Literature Fantasy literature is probably the oldest genre of fiction writing in the world. Fantasy literature has its roots in the fairy tale or folk tale, should do one of these: 1). To teach a lesson (i.e.: the tortoise and the hare), 2). To explain the unexplained or unexplainable (i.e.: creationist stories like the Book of Genesis), 3) Allow the audience to connect with the characters in a way that would make them feel better about their daily lives (i.e.: the story of Cinderella).

  3. In fantasy literature, we see several types of reoccurring themes or elements. Things that may look different from book to book but which represent the same thing called “archetypes.”

  4. The quest (including the struggle of good vs. evil) • The family (or party) • The hero • The villain • The monster (may also be the villain) • The god-figure • Animals • The father figure (or wise man) • The mother figure (or wise woman) • The child (bildungsroman – child to mature) • The fool • The maiden
